APPLICATIONS

DELEGATE APPLICATIONS

The ACSS in 2023 will provide delegates with an in-person experience that builds upon the success of our 2020, 2021 and 2022 Summits. We remain a forum for like-minded, passionate young Australians in their first year of university or above, who want to shape our nation’s security future, to build networks, expand their knowledge, and test their skills in challenging, realistic, and high-intensity crisis simulations. The annual Summit sees student, industry, and policy leaders across the nation converge to share in a ‘COVID-19 Safe,’ national security conference – headquartered at the Australian National University (ANU) – for 84 of Australia’s future national security leaders.
